Black Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - This heirloom cherry is thought to be native to a relatively small area of the Crimean Peninsula in Southern Ukraine. These vines will fill your buckets with cherry sized, dark-purple sweeties! Our three girls sold these in massive quantities when we ran a market garden many years ago. An indeterminate vine that grows vigorously, producing heavy clusters of firm and juicy snacks throughout the growing season. Highly nutritious and addictive!
